I think those colors only work on a naturally blonde person. The blues bring out the blues in their eyes but as my eyes are hazel, that doesn't work. Yes, I tried it and didn't like it.
I must admit, that picture had some help. I was taking lessons from a professional makeup consultant since my own efforts only produced the bastard offspring of Ronald McDonald and Bozo the Clown. Now I know that it is possible to look quite good with the right makeup and the right technique. And a set of $100 brushes.
